Overlapped I/O operation is in progress

[AVN 3]

Can anyone help i'm getting this error when installing the latest version “Overlapped I/O operation is in progress” , I tried uninstalling the KB2918614 update as well as installing the KB300988 hotfix but i'm still getting the error. I was able to get the KB300988 hotfix to install fine but i still cannot install a msi package. I still get the overlapped error.

I even tried creating a new windows profile but that didn't help either

I do have update KB3008627 installed , i also tried removing that update and tried installing as well as reinstalling that update and installing. That didn't help either. Same error every time.

It looks like you're on the right track to fix the issue, but can you verify that you've performed the steps as we instruct in the following ESET Knowledgebase article:

 

Installation of ESET products fails with error “Overlapped I/O operation is in progress” 

 

p.s. Regardless, can you let us know if you saw that KB article and if not, whether you searched for that error in the ESET Knowledgebase prior to asking your question.

Yes of course I performed those steps. That was the first thing i tried.

Hello,

 

My name is Jeff I work with ESET Tech Support.

 

I have ran into this issue a few times and was able to fix it by implementing the following steps:

 

- Go to start, and in the search bar, type Run. Next select Run and this should bring up the Run Box. 

 

- Next, drag your ESET install file into the run box.  It will convert it to the path that it is stored on eg: C:\User1\Desktop\eavh_nt64_enu.msi

 

- Once you have your path to the install file in the run box, press space then enter /lvx* install.log

 

- So what you will have in the run box, for example, is C:\User1\Desktop\eavh_nt64_enu.msi /lvx* install.log

 

- Press the OK button and the Install should then execute and finish normally.

 

Thus far, adding this switch has resolved the Overlapped I/O in progress error when I have used it.

 

Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

According to this article hxxp://support.microsoft.com/kb/2918614

You could try a manual fix with the registry.

Let us know if this helps.

I will try this but i'm doubtful it will help.

[AVN 3]

Just as suspected it didn't help. I'm still getting the same error.
note: i also made sure to reboot after making the registry modifications

 

Log file - pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Mjg9guHh

 

key used - {8DCE36CF-D28D-40B7-9C09-102FD0280BE0}

Also tried key - {2E7EB14E-25A1-4A67-9EA6-C351CCD44990}
And got the same result.

Just to be clear yet again, I'm still getting the same error nothing has helped or has even narrowed down for me what the problem is.

Try creating a new user profile and installing v8 after logging on as that new user.

No effect. Same error.

[Marcos 5,074]

Try using MSI Repair tool and also try reinstalling Windows Installer 4.5.

I'm just about giving up hope.

Hello AVN,

 

I apologize that this error is so consistent.  We have also been having a rough time with this particular issue here in technical support as well.

 

I notice that you are installing Smart Security, on one occasion I was able to get past this issue by using the live installer online rather than implementing the offline MSI install file.

 

Have you tried the live installer already?  If not, please try the Live Online installer located here: 

 

www.eset.com/us/download/home/detail/family/5/#online

 

- Ensure that the live installer option on the right is in Bold and select download.

 

Please let me know if this resolves your issue.

 

Thank you,
